This from the article:

...and yet, God doesn't seem to be able to do anything about it,
either. The prices keep soaring and soaring.
And this:

So, God knows it's the right thing to do, but he refuses to do it
unless enough people kiss his ass first.
And people actually believe this shit?

God doesn't act the way you think He should, therefore, your conclusion is

Erm...no. Not by a long shot.
The pantheons upon pantheons of gods ever proposed don't exist for
all sorts of obvious reasons that rarely ever need explaining. I'm
sure you'd agree with me that Brahma, Jupiter, Wodin, and all the
rest are quite silly and you'd have to be most insane to believe
in them. What you refuse to admit, mainly because of the mental
anguish it'd cause you to admit how much of an idiot you've been
all these years, is that your own gods are no different.
All I was doing in the post you replied to was pointing out a
typical absurdity of this particular type of god. If Mr. Twyman
were instead blathering about how all we needed to do to solve the
current economic crisis was ask the Leprechauns to give us some of
the gold they've got stashed in their pots at the ends of the
rainbows, wouldn't you have joined in the chorus of calling him a
dumbass?
Thought so.
Only a fool would taunt a Banshee, Leprechaun or Silkee . I showed your
e-mail to a tinker woman. She said... well, just be very careful.
Irish Mike
My sentiments exactly.
Fear of death trumps rationality, for all but
a few, who might be termed freaks...
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only
Son, so that everyone who believes in him might
not perish but might have eternal life."

I've faced death a number of times. I'm certainly not fond of the
idea, but I wouldn't say I'm afraid of it. I intend to do
everything I reasonably can to enjoy as much of life for as long
as I can, but I can't see much point in fearing death. After all,
I was dead for a dozen billion years or so before now; I imagine
I'll get used to it again after at least the first million years,
if not sooner.
Dying I'd really, really rather avoid, at least in almost all the
forms it usually takes.

Oh, but it isn't pointless. There is nothing pointless about showing the
BAAWAAAAAAWAAAAH Knights of atheism that atheism is inconsistent and
illogical. I do it all the time, but they do so hate to admit it.
There is much fun to be had in getting an alt.atheism atheist to define a
level of evidence for a Metaphysical X that does not entail a logical error
on the part of the atheist. alt.atheism arheists are collectively witless to
the idea that it is illogical to demand physically substantive evidence of
something that has no physical substance, and they will avoid that truth at
all costs.
The point being, atheism is prima facie illogical, whereas theism is
provably logical, therefore the burden is on the atheist to articulate a
logical, consistent, coherent framework for their personal atheism, and they
all have different ideas of what atheism is.
The funny part is, there is no logical, consistent, coherent framework for
any kind of atheism. The boot is on the other foot. You just have to know
where to aim it.

Atheists think for themselves so there is no "party line." But they all
reject the concept of gods as an answer for anything.

Mankind has been a serial inventor of gods but no one anywhere has ever
been able to produce any credible evidence for the existence of any god
for the very simple reason that gods only exist in the imagination of
believers.
Atheism is entirely logical for it is nothing more than not believing in
gods.

What do you mean by this word, ``Metaphysical''? But never mind
that, you've got something more interesting further down:
> The point being, atheism is prima facie illogical, whereas
> theism is provably logical
Oh, really? This'll be good. Let's begin, shall we?
If theism is provably logical, then there must be strict
definitions to the terms which we can all agree upon. Not only is
that a bedrock of logic, but it's essential -- if, by ``shoe,''
for example, you mean ``a mass of undigested hair coughed up by a
cat,'' then there's no point in me mentioning the cobbler who
lives down the street.
So, to kick things off, how 'bout you telling us, precisely, what
you mean by the word, ``god.'' How is somebody to know that one
particular entity is a god while another is not?
Good luck. You'll need it.
Cheers,

You are in effect saying that something exists if I can't prove it does not
exist.
This is pure illogic. It is logical to assume something does not exist if
there is NO
OBJECTIVE VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE for its existence!

Seems to me a silly thing to discuss:
100 ft in the air atop an antennae tower I misapplied a safety belt and
came very close to falling to my death. As they say, my entire life
flashed before my eyes in less than a second. If I would have died then
this may well have been the last thought I would have for eternity. If I
didn't like it then that would be hell.
It matters what we do.
That is my religious position.

However unless the insubtantial can be shown to have an effect, a
measureable effect that is independently verifiable, on the
tangible...it is indistiguishable from "nothing"
This fact nullifies your premise. Atheism remains on sound logical
footing.

You are replying to my post but not to my comment, so I'll reply to you
nonetheless.
Much exists that is not objectively verifiable. Good character exists,
interest in certain topics, affection, sense of humor, compassion, courage,
just to name a few. Many things can be known subjectively but still not be
objectively verifiable. It would be more logical to simply report that you
have seen no objective verifiable evidence of something and leave it at that
rather than to assume anything.

I think you'll find that, once you provide cogent definitions of
those terms, every one of them will be objectively verifiable --
in theory, at least, and, for the most part, in practice.

Not that bright, are you?
I'll spell it out for you. Let me know if I use any words you
don't understand.
Irish Mike made reference people who claim there aren't any
gods. I asked him which god he had in mind. You suggested I could
pick a god, any god, with the obvious implication that any and all
gods are equally valid. So, I picked a god.
And now it seems that you're trying to back off of your earlier
position that all gods exist.
So, tell me. Where did you get this fantasy that you can out-argue
a BAAWA Knight? Because you're stumbling so badly over your own
feet that, even though I haven't taken a swing yet, you're
bleeding from every orifice.
The question is where did I claim "that Ra created the world?" The question
is not what did someone else claim or imply or refer to.
> people who claim there aren't any

Oh, so your question about me trying to tell you that Ra created the world
was your way of asserting your choice? Do you often underhandedly create
imaginary, arse about face claims like that? Do you fear making outright
assertions that you can be pinned down on? Hmmm? You fucking coward.
> And now it seems that you're trying to back off of your earlier
> position that all gods exist.
Why on earth would I do that? I have no problem whatsoever in asserting
that, from a definition of God = Metaphysical X, I can give you second order
predicate logic sentences encoding watertight axioms and solutions that show
all gods that are metaphysical necessarily exist.
Do you have a problem with that? And who here is the fool, you or I?
> So, tell me. Where did you get this fantasy that you can out-argue
> a BAAWAWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Knight?
Perhaps the fantasy is yours, arising from a foolhardy and mistaken belief
that you've latched onto yet another illogical frz who cannot out-argue you.
> Because you're stumbling so badly over your own feet that,
And yet it is you who makes implied assumptions from implied claims but
doesn't state them until you're out-bluffed into a corner and forced to
reveal your pathetic poker cards.
"So, you're trying to tell us that Ra created the world?" now becoming "I
picked a god" being a prime example of you doing just that.
"you're trying to back off of your earlier position that all gods exist"
being another.
> even though I haven't taken a swing yet, you're bleeding from every

You need to get your delusions seen to, loser. I am more than beyond your

Definition 1: God = Metaphysical X.

KM, Not that I disagree with you, but what you wrote above appears

One would not reasonably expect tautological logic from Kurt Gödel.
"One of the most significant logicians of all time, Gödel's work has had

century..." - wiki.
> I'd be interested in seeing a proof of the theorem.
No problem at all. But first, there is fun to be had with a
BAAAWAAAAAAHWAAAAH Knight of atheism.
Oh, bugger it. Here:
Definition 1: God = Metaphysical X.
Definition 2: Metaphysical = Without physical form or substance.
Definition 3: x is God-like iff x has as essential properties those and
only those properties which are positive.
Definition 4: A is an essence of x iff for every property B, x has B
necessarily iff A entails B.
Definition 5: x necessarily exists iff every essence of x is necessarily
exemplified.
Axiom 1: If a property is positive, then its negation is not positive.
Axiom 2: Any property entailed by a positive property is positive.
Axiom 3: The property of being God-like is positive.
Axiom 4: If a property is positive, then it is necessarily positive.
Axiom 5: Necessary existence is positive.
Axiom 6: For any property P, if P is positive, then being necessarily P is
positive.
Theorem 1: If a property is positive, then it is consistent, i.e.,
possibly exemplified.
Corollary 1: The property of being God-like is consistent.
Theorem 2: If something is God-like, then the property of being God-like
is an essence of that thing.
Theorem 3: Necessarily, the property of being God-like is exemplified.
Corollary 2: Necessarily, God exists.
After I've had my disguting way with the BAAAWAAAAAAHWAAAAH Knight of
atheism's unwilling body I'll show you precisely where the killer twist of
the logic knife is, assuming you don't spot it first, of course.
Tough job.
If I define god as that force which energizes living things, I can verify
it's existence.
That would be dishonest.
Let's redo your "logic" with another imaginary character:
Definition 1: Albus Dumbledore = Metaphysical X.
Definition 2: Metaphysical = Without physical form or substance.
Definition 3: x is Dumbledore-like iff x has as essential properties
those and only those properties which are positive.
Definition 4: A is an essence of x iff for every property B, x has B
necessarily iff A entails B.
Definition 5: x necessarily exists iff every essence of x is necessarily
exemplified.
Axiom 1: If a property is positive, then its negation is not positive.
Axiom 2: Any property entailed by a positive property is positive.
Axiom 3: The property of being Dumbledore-like is positive.
Axiom 4: If a property is positive, then it is necessarily positive.
Axiom 5: Necessary existence is positive.
Axiom 6: For any property P, if P is positive, then being necessarily P is
positive.
Theorem 1: If a property is positive, then it is consistent, i.e.,
possibly exemplified.
Corollary 1: The property of being Dumbledore-like is consistent.
Theorem 2: If something is Dumbledore-like, then the property of being
Dumbledore-like is an essence of that thing.
Theorem 3: Necessarily, the property of being Dumbledore-like is
exemplified.
Corollary 2: Necessarily, Dumbledore exists.
So, now, let me know where Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
is. (By the way, if you don't know, you're committing the classic
"begging the question" fallacy.)
By the way, if you strip out the diversionary tactics within the "logic"
provided, you get to the following:
Existence is positive.
God is positive.
Therefore, God must exist.
Existence is positive.
Dumbledore is positive.
Therefore, Dumbledore must exist.
See the fallacy, KM?

Very nice, skippy.
Now, before we continue, let's see if you're even tall enough to
enter the gate.
Whose ``proof'' did you quote above?
Did he or she ever publish it? Why or why not?
The person who authored the ``proof'' is much better known for
certain other works of logic. Care to mention the most famous
of them? Also, other logicians worked on some very well-known
variations on the same basic them. Care to mention any of them?
The ``proof'' is, essentially, a formalization of a well-known
argument for the existence of the modern Western theological god
named, ``God.'' Who was the first to propose this argument, and
what is the argument typically called?
If you can make it past that, then it might actually be worth the
time to see if you can spot where the ``proof'' goes worng.

You have the proof. Spotting "where the ``proof'' goes worng" is your job,
hey.
I note that you also only made unshown assertions, just like the
BAAWAAAAAAHWAAAAAH Knight of atheism. What kind of stupid fuckstick are you
that you hope someone will argue against your unshown claims? Hmmmm?
If there is something wrong with the proof, argue it and show it,
unequivocally, but you can't so you resort to chimpanzee mentality in the
hope someone will bite. Tut! Tut! Tut!

No, you did not give credit. Instead, you most shamelessly
plagiarized (and, let's be honest here, corrupted -- that ``God =
Metaphysical X'' bullshit was nowhere in the original, and it
disastrously weakens the proof) the work of Kurt Godel.
You also ignored all the opportunities I gave you below to elevate
this to a meaningful discussion.
You are not worthy.
I'll throw you a couple quick bones, though, before I send you
packing.
Mr. Godel worked hard, very hard, on the ``proof'' you posted. He
very much wanted to prove the existence of his god. He never
succeeded, though, which is why he never published the proof. He
found it compelling, but not convincing.
The proof is a formalization of Anselm's Ontological Argument.
Anselm of Canterbury was an eleventh century philosopher and
theologian. His argument, in its essence, is that, for something
to be perfect, it must exist; therefore, God, being perfect, must
exist.
Stripped down like that, the flaw is obvious: there's no reason to
assume that perfection actually exists. And it's the same flaw in
Godel's own argument that renders the whole thing invalid. In
Godel's case, it's when he argues that ``Necessary existence is
positive.'' That just comes out of nowhere; there's simply no
reason to blindly assume that existence is necessarily better than
nonexistence. And, for that matter, no way to prove it, either.
One last little bone before I leave you to your sadly puffed-up
opinion of yourself. Most gods worshiped today are alleged to be
omnipotent. But, if you read my .sig a few lines down, you'll
see that ``omnipotence'' is itself a self-contradictory term,
even more than ``the largest prime number.'' And all the other
omni-properties shared by most modern gods fall to similar proofs,
too.

Bored now.
In this and your other most recent posts, the list of things you
managed to not do is quite astounding. Or, it would be, if it
weren't so obvious that you're the poser you so clearly are.
You've not addressed the question of whether or not Godel's proof
fails because he assumes that existence is positive. You've
not addressed direct accusations of plagiarism. You've not even
bothered to read my .sig, which adapts Godel's most famous work in
order to prove that ``omnipotence'' is a self-contradictory
term. You've again refused to define the term, ``god,'' instead
whining about how you didn't read the very thread you're replying
to. And you're /far/ too stupid to understand how it might -- just
maybe -- be a problem for a ``god'' to be both ``metaphysical''
and be able to actually -- you know? Do things?
I dub thee, ``Macbeth's Life,'' for thou art truly a tale told by
an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
You might try actually engaging in a discussion sometime, ML. But,

I do not need to address any of your questions. You need to show that
"Godel's proof fails". Until then, it stands, uncontested.
So, show that "Godel's proof fails", and please include your scrib^h working
out.
In order for my claim to fail, you have to show how it's an unshown
assertion by showing your evidence. Until that time, it remains
unsupported.
> I do not need to address any of your questions.
Oh, but you do. And, until you do, there will be absolutely no
doubt whatsoever in your mind that you are every bit as ignorant
and inadequate as a banana slug at a horticulturist's convention.
Sorry, but your life's a bitch.
Goodbye.
Taking away your diatribe, you are left with "Axiom 5 is unsupported", which
is a completely unshown assertion. The counter-argument is "Axiom 5 is
supported".
If it is the case that "Axiom 5 is unsupported" then you could not have got
to the question that asked where "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry" is. So, how did you arrive at that question within the framework
presented to you if "Axiom 5 is unsupported"? Hmmm?
I can't. Neither can you.
That was the purpose of this exercise. Godel was wrong. So are you.
Hogwarts doesn't exist. God doesn't exist. Your plagiarized logic is

From your cite:
Critique of definitions and axioms
There are several reasons Gödel's axioms may not be realistic, including
the following:
* It may be impossible to properly satisfy axiom 3, which assumes
that a conjunction of positive properties is also a positive property;
for the proof to work, the axiom must be taken to apply to arbitrary,
not necessarily finite, collections of properties. Moreover, some
positive properties may be incompatible with others. For example mercy
may be incompatible with justice. In that case the conjunction would be
an impossible property and G(x) would be false of every x. Ted Drange
has made this objection to the coherence of attributing all positive
properties to God - see this article for Drange's list of incompatible
properties and some counter arguments. For these reasons, this axiom was
replaced in some reworkings of the proof (including Anderson's, below)
by the assumption that G(x) is positive (Pos(G(x)).
* The set of all properties of any object a as a candidate for the
set of all positive properties is always consistent with axioms 1–4
concerning positive properties, because the true statements P(a) form a
class of statements closed under deduction. Any one property could be
claimed to be positive, so long as it is not self-contradictory, with
the right choice of a. Specifically, any property that can be possessed
without contradiction is positive in some model of axioms 1–4, and any
property that can be avoided without contradiction is non-positive in
some model of axioms 1–4. Positivity of a property is as implicitly
defined as anything can get. Why, then, should any one property (such as
the one addressed in axiom 5) be assumed to be positive, given that no
such statement is ever a tautology (although it can be a contradiction
if the property is unsatisfiable)? Note that, with the right choice of
axiom 5, all sorts of things could be proven (see also the objection
below), an error common in some form to all ontological arguments. This
problem with axiom 5 is a logically inescapable point, and is similar to
the demonstration that, in the deontic logic of Ernst Mally, a statement
is morally necessary if and only if it is true.
* It was argued by Jordan Sobel that Gödel's axioms are too strong:
they imply that all possible worlds are identical. He proved this result
by considering the property "is such that X is true", where X is any
true modal statement about the world. If g is a Godlike object, and X is
in fact true, then g must possess this property, and hence must possess
it necessarily. But then X is a necessary truth. A similar argument
shows that all falsehoods are necessary falsehoods. C. Anthony Anderson
gave a slightly different axiomatic system which attempts to avoid this
problem.
In Anderson's system, Axioms 1, 2, and 5 above are unchanged; however
sthe other axioms are replaced with:
Axiom 3': G(x) is positive.
Axiom 4': If a property is positive, its negation is not positive.
These axioms leave open the possibility that a Godlike object will
possess some non-positive properties, provided that these properties are
contingent rather than necessary.

Except show that the axioms provided in the argument are not
sufficiently self-evident and are, therefore, not true axioms.

Well I don't actually call it god either, I prefer the words "presence" or

what all these religious folks have been trying to get at without knowing
it. It is said "God is everywhere", "God is within you", "I am the light",
"Consider the lilies of the fields, how they grow.." etc etc It all points
to God being that ever-changing and evolving in the moment life

The essence of the problem is this: An infinite number of parallel
arguments arise from your (stolen) proof. According to your argument,
there is a god for every collection of positive properties. Indeed,
any "thing" than has positive properties is in fact "god", and yet
distinct. You've essentually "proven" that there are an infinite
number of gods and that every single thing that exists *is* in fact a
seperate and distinct god. At the same time, you've "proven" that any
single thing that anyone says exists must exist, for the mere fact of
their saying it. Elves and unicorns exist; your "proof" says it must
be so.
Definition 1: x is God(n)-like iff x has as essential properties those
and only those properties which are positive, except for P1,..., Pn.
Definition 2: A is an essence of x iff for every property B, x has B
necessarily iff A entails B
Definition 3: x necessarily exists iff every essence of x is
necessarily exemplified.
Axiom 1: If a property is positive, then its negation is not positive.
Axiom 2: Any property entailed by (strictly implied by) a positive
property is positive.
Axiom 3: The property of being God(n)-like is positive.
Axiom 4: If a property is positive, then it is necessarily positive.
Axiom 5: Necessary existence is positive, and distinct from each of
P1,..., Pn.
Theorem 1: If a property is positive, then it is consistent
(exemplified).
Corollary 1: The property of being God(n)-like is consistent.
Theorem 2: If something is God(n)-like, then the property of being
God(n)-like is an essence of that thing.
Theorem 3: Necessarily, the property of being God(n)-like is
exemplified.
That's one also, and "that Big Dude who will smack you down if you don't pay
homage to the church".
But going beyond organized religion, going beyond atheism and anti-religion,
beyond all the duality, there is something real and worthwhile that in my
opinon was the real message of people like Buddha and Jesus and others. It
defies description but it has to do with tapping into the raw power of life
itself.
It should've been credited at the time of posting.

I provided it. Look, you don't seem to understand what I provided.
That's fine. I just don't see anything further being produced from this
dialog, so I'm cutting it off here. If you feel the need to piss and
moan about it, please do so.
I have better things to do.
I've already tried that with KM. He started taunting me that I was
insulting Godel...somehow.
He has not, to date, provided scientific evidence of God. Just mental
masturbation.
I have not killfiled him in hopes that he will post something scientific
(I just won't respond to him until he does) about God... but I doubt it.
What the fuck do you suppose "The work was credited immediately before it
was pasted". means, you dumbfuck atheist cunt?
